Their supposed mission? To hunt down the remaining PLO fighters hiding among the refugees. Instead, the Phalangists committed mass executions, slaughtering over 3,000 Palestinian civilian refugees in just two days.

Watch out!!!

That’s barely even 1% of what Muslims in Lebanon have done to Christians...
The Palestinians need to be kicked out of Lebanon, and the country should just be split into a Christian state and a Muslim state.

My bro gave up on this forum because he thinks the politics here are basically just run by a bunch of kids...
I don't buy that at all, so I'm dropping an Anonymous poll (though most people will probably just click random answers for the hell of it anyway).

Throw a poll in the thread—break it down by age groups: under 18, 18-25, 25-35, and over 35.
Anyway, my birthday is March 2nd, 1986.

Writer got on my nerves a few times too, but he always played it straight, unlike some of those mods...

The only way we'd ever find ourselves shouting "Death to fascism!" is if we were actually playing against Italy!!

Don't be silly, only Americans and Germans were fascists... 😬

How exactly are you supposed to prove that?

Brandon Johnson said:Fans sitting just three rows back were all decked out in red, white, and blue—matching the colors of the American flag. Even some big names showed up in The White House section, including Robert De Niro, Novak Djokovic's parents, and his coach, Andre Agassi. De Niro was wearing a dark gray cap, though he kept things classic with a crisp white shirt.
“They were trying to surprise me, and it actually worked,” Roger Federer said. He mentioned a similar thing happened during the semifinals at Roland Garros, where about 15 or 20 fans wore yellow just because he was playing in a yellow kit.
“This time they went a step further by wearing the red, white, and blue. I’m pretty sure that was my parents' idea, not Robert De Niro's,” Roger Federer added.

Look, De Niro is basically Italian. If he ended up in the Midwest back in '91, things would have gone south fast...

Jewish youths identifying with the very people trying to wipe them out? Neo-Nazi group arrested - targeting Jews

Israeli police just busted a gang of neo-Nazis, mostly kids between 17 and 19, who were attacking foreigners, the LGBTQ+ community, addicts, and anyone they labeled "other," including Jews and religious groups.

Israel is really feeling the consequences of handing out citizenship way too easily to people of Russian descent. Sure, getting out of Russia was tough back then, but man, it turns out Russians have a hard time integrating anywhere... even Germany is dealing with them right now.
The real issue is this identity crisis everyone's having. They were raised under the Soviet mindset, so now neither Russia nor anyone else really claims them. But let's face it: their mentality is Russian through and through, and they tend to cluster together based on those roots wherever they go! I'm hearing the same thing in Israel—they've got their own specific way of doing things. It's wild; they actually have the nerve to pull stuff in Western Europe that they’d never dream of attempting back in Russia!

I know about a million people moved from Russia and Ukraine during the 90s.
Does anyone actually have the stats on how many were Jews versus how many were Russians, Ukrainians, or other groups?

My bad, sorry 👍

goldenmason172 said:Wait a second, why does it have to be exactly eight out of ten that are American? 🤔 🤣

Nah, they'll be Romanian... ☕

It’s wild how Mexican cinema was actually hitting its stride right when the country was falling apart morally and economically... everything was a mess, yet the movies were incredible.
The second things start getting back to normal, the quality just tanks.

wearycobra74 said:August 13 - CNN - Two astronauts are set to swap out a faulty gyroscope on the International Space Station, while NASA engineers weigh whether the crew of Endeavour should tackle some dangerous damage found on the shuttle's belly this week.

A chunk of insulating foam broke off a fuel tank during launch last week, striking the shuttle and leaving a nine-centimeter gouge in the thermal shielding on its underside...

...

Seriously, can we get just one single Space Shuttle flight without something falling off... cracking... failing... exploding... etc.??

The very first Space Shuttle launched over twenty-five years ago! And it went fine. Does that mean they were lying back then, or has American space tech actually regressed?

Then Americans act surprised when the Russians nonchalantly plant their flag at the bottom of the North Pole and casually announce they're moving in to start extracting resources!

Back in the 1960s, folks were predicting that within 30 years, a fifth (20%) of the entire world population would be living on the Moon and other space stations or colonies...
It was this massive space race between the Russians and the Americans to see who’d hit the Moon first...
Both militaries, the American and the Russian ones, poured money into the space programs...
And most importantly, they had MASSIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT...

Once we landed on the Moon and realized there definitely wasn't any life on Mars, the public hype just totally fizzled out...

As the USSR collapsed and went broke, its space program fell apart too...
America and its military stopped being so generous, and suddenly, flying into space became almost totally boring to everyone...

hollowsailor19 said:What’s everyone else’s take? In my opinion, they aren't even the worst—I mean, we can all agree
that those two definitely don't hold a candle to what should have won. Personally, I think
the wins were totally undeserved compared to the other heavy hitters (Se7en, The Usual Suspects)—which, if you ask me,
are much better films.

People can say whatever they want, but Mel Gibson is a killer director, and Braveheart is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen...

Don't sweat it, the poll is totally anonymous... 😬

With the mods giving me the green light, I’m starting a poll similar to the one that got nuked over on the America subforum.
Keep it civil, please—no insults or hate speech allowed here...
Thanks

darkviper17 said:Good grief!

A true masterpiece of American cinema!

It might sound like a total cliché, but trust me, this thing will leave you absolutely breathless!

It’s just a relentless barrage of shock value: violence, vulgarity, the darkest corners of New York City, lost youth, drugs, sex, crime, blood, nudity, the mob, raw sexuality, hypocrisy, fear, authority, pure chaos, anarchy, assault, cruelty, heartlessness, power, intellect, stupidity, and sheer primitivism...

For me, the most powerful moment in the entire movie—that assault scene!

Too bad the best tits in the movie don't even show up...

Honestly, Tomislav did the right thing by saving those Americans of Mexican descent. If he hadn't, we probably would have dealt with Bulgarians instead, and things wouldn't have been any better. Besides, the Americans of Mexican descent weren't even our enemies until the 20th century...

Americans of Mexican descent and Americans of American descent were only friends as long as they weren't stuck in the same country.
Give it another 100 or 200 years and we’ll finally settle all these old scores once and for all.
😳 😳 😳

Not sure if you're being sarcastic here, but I'm with you.
Just look at the relationship between Americans of English descent and Americans of French descent. They spent hundreds of years at each other's throats, and now you've got like seven or eight French guys playing for Arsenal, and even the Tour de France rolls through England.

Kyle Wilson9 said:It’s pretty wild that the Crown of King Tomislav was one of the few things they didn't toss out during the America era! I guess they were just being "grateful" to the Mexicans for being saved.

Looking at the legacy of King Tomislav today, I can't help but wonder how history would've played out if he hadn't stepped in to help the Mexicans. Would my people have had to endure all that suffering later on just because we saved the ones who eventually caused it!?

So, what do you guys think? Was Tomislav:
1. An American hero
2. Someone who brought disaster to America
3. A Mexican hero

Here's the context:
Back in 924, the Bulgarians attacked Mexico and crushed Zachariah. He ended up fleeing to America with a huge group of Mexicans, and thanks to Tomislav and the Americans, they survived. Sadly, Tomislav saved Mexicans from the Bulgarians multiple times before that too—and looking back, that turned out to be a fatal mistake for the American people.

Plus, his statue was put up after WW2, once the communists took over...

Look, Tomislav did the right thing by saving them. We wouldn't have dealt with the Bulgarians, and the Mexicans weren't our enemies until the 1900s anyway.

A little luck for this messed up country...

Moderators, please start nuking posts like "Now the deaths will really start rolling in" or stuff like "There's gonna be 100 dead people at the celebration"...

It's easy to laugh now, but don't forget we went through war here too...

Look, man, don't go making fun of those guys...
I honestly tip my hat to them. They're living in a place where life has zero dignity, yet they proved you don't have to be the most talented guy on the pitch—you just have to play with pure heart...

That’s exactly why England is never going to be the world champion again. Their stars are too busy worrying about where their wives are hanging out instead of focusing on the game and the fans...
